Template Showfile Creation and Organization. Lighting Programmers can greatly benefit from having a well organized and built ‘template’ showfile, a standard starting point for new shows. This class will explore how to create and curate a base template showfile containing fixture groups, presets (palettes), screen views and fx cues and macro’s. We will also explore fixture numbering and how maintaining consistency of numbering and organization can increase workflow and enhance communication between a lighting programmer and other crew members.
